3. Do you have active abscesses now?

If it was just the one that you had surgically taken care of, don't worry.

If you get another one, make sure it is cultured, and specifically, checked for MRSA.

Also, be aware that immune system deficiencies can cause these.

Finally, if you have, or are at risk for diabetes, make sure your blood sugar is checked. Chronically high blood sugar will reduce your ability to fight these off.
